More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more damaging to the truth than an old error.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are two things children should get from their parents: roots and wings.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What matters in art is not thinking but making.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A reasonable man needs only to practice moderation to find happiness.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You will find the most pronounced hatred of other nations on the lowest cultural levels. There is, though, a level where the hatred disappears completely and where one so to speak stands above the nations and where one experiences fortune or misfortune of a neighboring country as if they had happened to one's own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Since I have heard often enough that everyone in the end has his own religion, nothing seemed more natural to me than to fashion my own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Where there are no women there are no good manners
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We all walk in mysteries. We are surrounded by an atmosphere about which we still know nothing at all.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The century is advanced, but every individual begins afresh.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Very few people love others for what they are rather, they love what they lend them, their own selves, their own idea of them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't say that you want to give, but go ahead and give! You'll never catch up with a mere hope.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To tremble before anticipated evils is to bemoan what thou hast never lost.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The heights charm us, but the steps do not with the mountain in our view we love to walk the plains.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest genius will not be worth much if he pretends to draw exclusively from his own resources
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The most damaging prejudice consists of banning any kind of investigation of nature.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I always seek the good that is in people and leave the bad to Him who made mankind and knows how to round off the corners.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The angles even Draw strength from gazing on its glance, Though none its meaning fathom may The world's unwither'd countenance Is bright as at creation's day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Aptitudes are assumed, they should become accomplishments. That is the purpose of all education.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
